WESTERN WATERWAYS.

There is to be another Western water
ways convention held this year. 1t has
been called TO meet at Memphis on the
10Th of this month, and all the states
and territories penetrated by the Mis-
sissippi and its tributaries are invited to
send delegates. The failure of the
river and harbor bill passed by the last
congress TO become law has had the
effect Of stirring up the leaders i'm the
waterway Improvement movement. 1t
IS to be hoped that the Memphis con-
vention will profit by the mistakes that
have been made by the improvement
advocates in the past, and that there
will be more unity of action in the
future. The trouble in the past
1as been that the different sec
lions interested in river improve
iments have been antagoniZing each
Sther. The lower Mississippi country
has been getting the lions share of the
appropriations. The lack of generosity
Oh the part of the lower river represent

anything else 10 create public senti-
ment against Improvements of this char
acter. In addition to the waste and ex-
travaganoe which have been charged up
to them, the lower river representatives
have succeeded, by their Selfishness i'll

Stions, in creating GOODNESS and indiffer-

DRAMATIC NOTES.

The MEsTAYEH-VAUGHN company had an
other ''tobog" last night.
There was more life thrown into the tobog-
gan act tnan the first evening, and it had
more of the reality of ST. Paul scene in
carnival times.
Miss THERESA VAUGHN-The Pioneer Press
is certainly not very complimentary to the
st. Paul people when it says that Mr.. MES
TAYER and myself are trying our new piece
ION dog" L have never found any canine
qualities in a st. Paul audience On the
contrary they are the incest audiences that
we play to anywhere. and am sure treated
us most handsomely on our opening night.
Manager SCOTT says the receipts were the
largest of the season. AS to the merits of
the play itself, it would be immodest in
me 10 say more than that Mr.. CHALET, the
manager of the new Pittsburg grand opera
house, selected this play from among large
number of leading attractions with which to
open his theater, and our receipts were over
$4,000 the week we played there. 1 am not
Directing to the right of any newspaper to
crticise us or our performances, but do en-
ter most serious protest against the Pioneer

STRAY SUNBEAMS,

The MARQUIS DE MoREs sat at lunch yGster-
day talking with a friend about certain prices
Of property III st. Paul with which he was once
familiar. The property just mentioned"
said the friend, was sold the other day for
$4,000 spot cash. Who was the pur-
chaser:' asked the marquis with tone of
surprise in MS voice at the price paid for a
piece of property which five years ago he
could have handled at one-tenth of that sum.
The name of the purchaser was given. MY
heavens" exclaimed the marquis, ''only
little while ago that fellow was my hired
man." And thus as the world whirls around
some are going up and some are coming down.
-
The MARQUIS De MoREs is'making ST. Panl
farewell visit, as he proposes soon to quit
America forever He bears his misfortIIneS
with cheerful resignation that is remarka,
bic. The poor fellow came to this country
laden down with money, but actually pow
erty stricken in knowledge of the world and
business experience. The sharpers looked
upon him as legitimate prey, and as a result
he was tieeced by everybody who could strike
him. Under such circumstances it is not sin
gular that the young noblenan and his money
soon parted company. And yet with all his
financial reyerses and business failures, the
marquis retains the same kindlipess of heart,
the same generosity of nature, and the sapee
forgiving spirit that characterized the days of
his prosperity. No one has ever heard him COM
plain of his misfortunes or utter one word of
reproach for those who abused his confidence
or took advantage of his lack of business ex-
perence. He goes away from us poor in
purse, but still as rich in the milk of human
kindness as when he first cast his lot among
us.

The Wisconsin folks were always a fast
people, but it was not until last week they
got to holding courts on railway trains. Last
Thursday Judge CLEMENTsoN. of the Iowa
county circuit, was on She Milwaukee bound
train on his way to hold court a Dodgeville.
Two lawyers, who were going down to argue
a case before the court boarded the train at
way station. Finding the judge passenger
on the train, it was agreed to submit the
case to him in his sleeping car chambers.
The accommodating judge listened to the
argument. and before the county seat was
reached had rendered a decision, and the
lawyers went back home without having to
pay tavern bill.

OF Interest to Travellers.

Frequently when travelling passengers
are startled by series OF shrill whistles
from the engine which, it is pretty safe
to say, not one in hundred on the
train, outside of the employees. under
stand. Consequently the GLOBE has
taken pains to ascertain the code of Sig
mails, and this is the result:
One long blast of the whistle is signal for
approaching stations, railroad crossings and
functions. One short blast of the whistle is a
signal 10 applyrthe brakcS-stop. Two long
blasts of the whistle are signal to throw off
the brakes. Two short blasts OF the whistle
are an answer to the conductors signal to
stop at the next station. Three long blasts
OF the whistle are signal that the train has
parted. Three long blasts of the whistle
when the train is standing are a signal that
the train will back. Three short blasts of the
whistle when the train is running are a sig
nal to be given by passenger trains when dis
playing signals for following train to call
the attention of trains they meet or pass TO
the signals. Four long blasts of the whistle
are signal to call i'll the flagmaa -Four
short blasts of the whistle are the engine
mans calls for signals from switchmen
watchmen and trainmen. Two long fol-
lowed by two short blasts of the whistle are
signal for approaching road crossings at
grade. Five short blasts of the whistle are
signal to the flagmau to go back aud protect
the rear of the train. A succession of short
blasts of the whistle is an alarm fcr persons
or cattle Oh the track, and calls the attention
of trainmen 10 danger ahead.

INCARCERATION.

Mr. PowDERI.Y' 5 views on immigra
ion are 81 sound that it would be sur
Prise to find an intelligent person,
whatever his nationality, who would
dissent from them. And they commend
themselves 50 essentially to the work
ing classes that the wonder is that an
organized effort has not before been
made to incorporate them into the legiS-
1atiOn of the country. There is no Senti
ment III this country that amounts to
anything opposed TO immigration. 1t is
true that there is fragment of the old
American or Know Nothing party lying
around. into which some political crank
is every now and then trying to infuse
life. The only danger to be appre-
hended from this relic of the spirit of
Know NoUhingism is that the abuses of
oar immigration system will con-
Tribute to give vitality to it. 1t is the
abuses OF the system and not immigra-
ton Itself that Mr.. PowDERL YStrikeS at.
The influx of foreign pauper labor which
threatens TO crowd out the American
WDrkingman and the importing of the
nihili>tic element which threatens the
utter destruction of capital are all the
results of corporation greed. The pau
per and the anarchist belong to that
class of immigrants who came here
wearing the collar of corporations.
: Europe and Asia are secured by the
agents of the steamship companies and
The railroad syndicates for the purpose
Of gathering up these cattle to ship over
here for speculative purposes. They
are brought here. just as the African
was brought to these shores, by
INSCRIPTIONS men for the pur-
pose of gain. This feature of our
Immigration system is just as nefarious
as was the African slave trade, and a
thousand times more hurtful to the
country and its institutions. That is
the class Of immigrants that we want to
Top OFF. But as Mr.. PowDERLY says.
when the immigrant comes here who is
free man when he lands. the country
Is ready to receive him with open arms.
When he comes here free man to seek
the enjoyment of personal liberty in a
land of freedom there can be no ques-
ton about his attachment to our insti-
buttons. He is loyal to the American
government the very day he sets foot
OF American soil. AS long as immi-
grants of this type come to us the gov
eminent should and will foster immi-
grafton, and there will be no voice
raised against it.

The Sioux CITY and Pacific.

New YORK, Oct. 4.-John ]. Blair,
first vice-president of the Sioux City
& Pacific railway company was the
only witness to-day before Commits
sioner Anderson, of the Pacific railway
commission. Mr.. Blair said that
OaiesAmes subscribed for 1000 sharesin

build the Sioux City u Pacific railway
and Platte Smith and number of
friends subscribed to good deal more.
AS none of them paid up he Blair) re-
fused to go on until there was enough
money secured, independent of the land
grants from the government, for them
to be able for to do SO. In describing
the cost of the road, MIR. Blair said:
Why would rather have 800, 600 ties than
300, 900 acres of land, for who would buy an
acre of land when he could get the l60 acres
adjoining for the asking? l was at one time
in great need of money, and sold 4S,G00
acres which had been granted TO the North
ern Nebraska Air Line company. The buy
ers of these lands were about three fOurths
OF the directors and the stockholders of the
company, who got it at 50 per acre. The
government bonds in the possession of the
company were divided among all of us in
1870 or 1871. each man, of course, receiving
shares according to the shares he subscribed.
The bonds of the road at that time were
worth 70 cents ON the dollar. Afterwards
amount realized paid into the stock of the
roads. l had vouchers for all.
He acknowledged that such records
as were not burned up in the Cedar
Rapids fire were kept unsystematically.
He said his road was transferred to the
Chicago IL Northwestern company in
1878. He thought that, with the shops
of the Sioux City roads, which were very
valuable, together with the machinery
and rolling stock. the road was worth
about s2,60O.0OO to the Northwestern.

DECORATE.

In the multitude of things that are to
be looked after in connection with the
presidents reception, there is one feat
ure that should not be overlooked. That
Is the decoration of the buildings along
the route of the procession. If there
ever was time demanding a bountiful
display of bunting this is the time.
Every business house and every resi-
dence along the line of the parade Mon
day night, as well as along the route
mapped out for Tuesdays drive, should
be properly decorated. And it would
do no harm if those who live off of
these two routes should also decorate.
i'll order that the city might present
general holiday appearance. 1t will not
only be the president and his party who
will visit st. Paul Oh that occasion, but
there will be thousands and tens of
thousands of visitors from all the sur
rounding country who will be equally
delighted by the magnificence of the
display that is proposed to be made.

LAKE DISASTERS.
Total Wreck Of the Canadian Propeller
California.
FOURTEEN LIVES WERE LOST
Other Terrible Casualties on the
Stormy Waters Of the Unsalted
Seas.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. "A special
from Mackinaw City, Mich, says: The
propeller California, commanded by
Capt. Trowell, left Chicago, Saturday
night bound for Montreal. She was
laden with 10000 bushels of corn and
700 barrels of pork, and carried a crew
OF % persons and also had three paSSen-
gers. She encountered a heavy wind
early Monday morning off the Beavers,
and at four p. IN. the sea had increased
so that it was impossible to steer her
and 500 barrels of pork were thrown
overheard, but without helping her
much, About IL p. m..when just above
st. Helena island, the sea broke in the
gangways, and put out the fires. She
then swung around in the trough of
the sea and began breaking up. The

lower but one. The captain went into
the cabin to get the passengers out, but
when he returned found that the first
mate and several men had left with the
boat. The steamer now began rapidly
breaking up and soon all hands were
struggling in the water. The captain
and engineer succeeded i'll getting a
boat loose from the wreck and picked up
the second engineer, cook and one lady
passenger. Their boat drifted down
alongside the propeller A. Folsom,
which was anchored under st. Helena
and was picked up and brought here.
Another boat had succeeded in getting
ashore near Point La Barbe. The
steamer Paxton picked up one man who
was drifting down the straits on some

Capt. TrOwell says all were supplied
with life preservers and it is probable
that all the bodies will be recovered.

places the number of lost at fourteen
and the saved at thirteen. The wreck
lies mile from shore and heavy sea is
breaking over it. The hull is under
water, the mastS gone and the cabin
stands on end. 1t is thought nearly all
the bodies will be found under it, Every
one had on life preservers, so the bodies
will come ashore as they get clear of the
wreck. The survivors are being ten

sailors were unconscious when shore
was reached and none could walk. Owen

There were eight others in the boat
with him. They drifted around the
straits four hours, the boat being full of

Trouble About Cars.

Now that the crop of wheat is
to be moved, it is charged that the rail
roads are favoring the elevators by fur
nishing them with all the cars needed,
and then giving what are left, if there
are any, to the farmers and small ware
housemen. In order to reach the mat
ter Mr.. WoolcOtt, Of Minneapolis, adj
dressed a letter of complaint to the
Northern Pacific, and received the fol-
lowing reply:
st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 80, 1887, C. c.. Wool
colt & Co., 80 Chamber of Commerce, Min
neapolis-Gentlemen: Your letter of the
2Sth inst, addressed to Mr.. Hannaford, has
been referred to me. In reply will say that
we have received a communication from the
pubic elevator companies declaring their in
tention to forfeit their license and become
private Warehousemen unless we protect
them in their efforts to carry ON a
public warehouse i'll accordance with
the wishes Of the larger majority of our
patrons. Our only reason for shutting off
the private warehouses and sidetrack leading
is i'll consequence of strict Interpretation of
the law which prevents our furnishing cars
to private individuals to the detriment of the
larger share of our patrons who patronize the
public elevators. We would be pleased to
have you take our decision to the commits
sloners. as it is entirely out of the question
for us to supply the public elevators and .pri-
vote individuals with cars. Yours truly,
j. Z. ODELL, Asst. Gen. Mgr.
1t is probable that the matter will be
brought before the commissioners, and
it will be interesting to see what they
will do about it.
